bloody theives

i finally have a good excuse for never updating... my laptop was stolen. and the screen of our family computer - so not internet access, though a perfectly good cpu and modem sit on the desk where i'd love to be doing this. instead i am in the cold amst honours office on a saturday, with a sore throat and an empty stomach. but good news - the university has recognised the work i did in the US and i'll have an honours degree as well as extra debt at the end of the year - which is better than just the debt on its own.

since being burgled ten days ago, i've had a digustingly productive time of it. no computer or frivolous fiction writing, to distract, i've either worked or studied. am well on my way to my professor's mini-deadline of next thursday and a few baby steps toward financial (freedom is the wrong word) guiltlessness.

unfortunately still fighting a frightfully resiliant cold that pops back every weekend. standing in the rain at the dawn parade on tuesday probably didn't help, nor did going out dancing in the cold, dark and wet on thursday night, fun as it was. you can't be wise all the time. plus, illness is an excellent excuse to drink lemon and honey (add lime too if needing consolation) drinks and watch the latest harry potter my brother bought while in te awamutu last week. yay for him.

ick, sore throat. and hungry tummy. want soup. will check bank balance and maybe go to untouched world. naughty amy.

hehe, that's me!
